Murray Smith is certainly among the best and most respected horse people in our Thoroughbred Industry.

With 160 stakes horses to her credit, of which 28 were graded stakes winners including track record setting horses, Murray truly understands the racehorse in a very special way. She set a record when she had a horse work a quarter at a two year old in training sales going 20.1 eclipsing her own record of 20.3.

As seller, Murray has topped 9 sales.

Smith has been involved with Thoroughbreds for more than 30 years. She caught the wave of 2-year-olds in training sales and rode it to pinhooking fame. It's a crowded field, and a lot of bloodstock entrepreneurs have tried their hand. But Murray Smith is the one who:

Bought Eclipse Champion Sprinter, Smoke Glacken.

Bought Monarchos right off the farm as a yearling. Monarchs won the Kentucky Derby in a time under 2 minutes joining only Secretariat as a Kentucky Derby winner to shatter the 2 minute barrier.

Bought Ruler's Court for $60,000 as a yearling and sold him to Sheikh Mohammed for $400,000 as a 2-year-old.

Bought What a Song for $95,000 as a yearling and sold him for $1.9 million as a 2-year-old to Robert Lewis, who won a bidding battle with Sid Craig.

Bought Wild Fit for $50,000 as a yearling, bought her back at a 2-year-olds in training sale, sold half, and subsequently consigned her to the 2005 Keeneland November sale, where she brought a bid of $3 million from Coolmore.

Those names should all sound familiar. As stated, Smoke Glacken ended up sprint champion of 1996. Monarchos won the 2001 Kentucky Derby.

She has won more then 50 races as an owner. The finest and best in the thoroughbred business have trusted Murray to deliver a highest quality racehorse.

These days she continues to develop future racing stars being a completely hands on professional.
